Justin Timberlake has reached a plea deal in his DWI case, nearly three months after he was arrested in Sag Harbor, N.Y., PEOPLE confirms.

The singer, 43, is due in court for a hearing in New York on Friday, Sept. 13. TMZ and the Associated Press report that the Timberlake has agreed to plead guilty to a less serious offense after initially being charged with driving while intoxicated.

Timberlake’s attorney and a rep for the Suffolk County District Attorney did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Though the star’s lawyer Edward Burke Jr. has maintained that Timberlake was “not intoxicated” when he was arrested on June 18, the “Selfish” singer was booked on one count of DWI and two citations — one for running a stop sign and one for failure to keep in lane.

Timberlake told his arresting officer that he’d “had one martini and I followed my friends home,” according to his arrest report, which was obtained by PEOPLE.

The report said that while on routine patrol, an officer allegedly saw Timberlake’s 2025 BMW drive through a stop sign, and “fail to keep on the right side of the roadway.” The officer initiated a traffic stop, and noted that Timberlake’s “eyes were bloodshot and glassy, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath, he was unable to divide attention, he had slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot, and he performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests.”

The star refused a breathalyzer after being taken to police headquarters — and because of that, had his license suspended for a year in the state of New York during a hearing in August, something Burke said was “standard with every DUI.”

Burke put forth a motion to dismiss the case in July but withdrew the motion at the aforementioned August hearing, during which Timberlake also pleaded not guilty while appearing virtually in court from Antwerp, Belgium.

During that same hearing, Sag Harbor Village Justice Carl Irace warned Burke against continuing to speak to the press, as he said Burke’s statements “come off as an attempt to poison the case before it even begins.” Irace also threatened to implement a gag order on the case and require Timberlake to appear in court in person.

A second hearing in August revealed there was a subpoena out to the American Hotel, where Timberlake was hanging out before his arrest. The hotel was said to be “complying” with the case.
